Lack of economic development, jobs and school findings...through out the years o have notice the lack of things that a city needs for growth..i believe that I can make a big different because I have sat here as a council person and realize the things that we can do as a whole and the work that's ahead of us as a whole ..Therefore building a strong sense of community service and understanding what the needs are will be my to do list ,,,as well as setting up quarterly updates at local schools and community centers to keep the community inform on our progress and future projects in the districts. ​​

I feel that one of the most important PROBLEM in Bridgeport CT is that the spirit of APATHY has invaded the people's MINDSET. GANG VIOLENCE, DRUG dealers. Low school scores and the HIGH school DROP OUT rates. As a member of the Bridgeport city council I will STAND in SOLIDARITY with the public schools by fighting for FUNDING for our school.

Question 2: How do you plan to keep your constituents informed about your actions as a City Council member?
